Question

Consider a population of wildflowers in which the frequency of the red allele CR is p = 0.7. What is the frequency of the white allele (CW ) in this population?

Answer 1

The frequency of white allele is 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Frequency of red allele, p = 0.7

Frequency of white allele, q = ?

Using Hardy Weinberg Principle,

p + q = 1

So, 0.7 + q = 1

q = 0.3

Therefore, the frequency of white allele is 0.3
